In an era of coming and going, we inevitably feel a sense of melancholy when facing farewells. When partings are orderly, how can our eyes not well up as we say goodbye? Time, people, and places intertwine to create the most unwilling of narratives. The time to say goodbye, no matter how long, is always too soon, like an unexpected dawn, an ordinary dusk, or moments filled with too many unfulfilled promises. The people we say goodbye to, caring deeply naturally leads to heartache, like family with love and hate, dear friends with whom too many secrets were shared, or lovers who in the next second become an ex. The places we say goodbye, we must attend no matter how reluctantly, like sterile hospitals, campuses where youth was spent, silent coffee shops, or sparsely populated departure lounges. We fear saying goodbye, but in reality, we fear not being able to say goodbye even more. It turns out that a goodbye where you can actually say farewell, is already a fortunate goodbye. Saying goodbye to a best friend breaking ties, a couple breaking up, family passing away, a close friend moving abroad... "Neon Lights and Farewells" captures the tears of separation in a grand era, and the poignant regret of a difficult parting. This book is dedicated to every Hongkonger who has left and those who have stayed. No matter where you are at this moment, may you never forget the laughter and tears shared on this land.
